La Orotava Banana Plantation Tour

At your chosen time, we'll meet at the organic Canary Island banana plantation on El Rincón road in La Orotava, offering views of Mount Teide.

The visit begins with a walk around the grounds where we explain the plantation's origins. We'll discuss all the steps involved in the banana production process, from gestation to commercialization.

We'll detail the unique characteristics of the Canary Island banana, the only variety with the Protected Geographical Indication seal. This banana takes three months longer to ripen than American bananas, resulting in an intense flavor and high nutrient content.

As we are on an ecological farm, we'll describe the thriving ecosystem, including beneficial insects, grains for soil health, and birds that fertilize the land.

At the end of our walk, we'll have a tasting of Canary Island bananas and a shot made from the fruit.

After a 50-minute visit, we'll conclude our tour outside the plantation.
